It is my pleasure to welcome fellow faculty members, engineers, and laboratory technicians affiliated with the Faculty of Chemical Industries, and to thank them for their dedicated efforts toward the success of the educational process.
I am also honored to welcome our dear students, especially first-year students, for choosing this faculty, which focuses on the development of engineering equipment where unified physical, chemical, and thermal processes take place.
It is worth noting the importance of professionals in the chemical industries possessing diverse knowledge, including fundamental sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and physical chemistry, as well as engineering knowledge such as thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, and reactor design — all essential for studying and executing reactions under optimal conditions and at minimal cost.
The chemical engineer is concerned with operating chemical plants that use raw materials to produce essential products for society, such as manufacturing various fertilizers needed for agriculture, as well as operating sugar, dye, yeast, alcohol, and oil factories, and oil refining plants — in addition to many other fields.
In short, we can say that working engineers seek the best and most cost-effective methods to deliver economically priced products. They are also responsible for solving problems related to gas, liquid, and solid pollution — which explains the high demand for chemical engineers in various technical sectors.
I wish our esteemed faculty members and dear students a year full of effort and achievement in service of our beloved homeland. Wishing you all the best every year.
